83. Wildflowers, The Case For Native Plants It is misleading to call nonnaturalized plants wildflowers , much less to sell them as such. It is particularly distressing for the home gardener when http://www.prairienursery.com/NeilsPage/AchWriting/WildflowersCaseforNative.htm

Wildflowers The Case For Native Plants by Neil Diboll Prairie Nursery The recent surge of interest in low-maintenance meadows has spawned a plethora of wildflower seed mixes that are now available to the consumer. Most consist of a combination of annuals, biennials, and perennials, but some contain only annuals, and a few are composed purely of perennials. Which wildflower seed mix will best suit your needs? First and foremost, the gardener should be familiar with the various species that are included in a given wildflower mix. Learn about plant heights, colors, adaptability to region, soil type, and sun conditions. Most commercially available "general purpose" meadow mixes contain a variety of flowers that do best in full sun and tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. Many mixes include a few species that are specifically adapted to dry, regular, or moist soils, so that some seed will almost certainly grow no matter where the mix is planted. Some vendors sell the same mix nationwide, while many companies offer variations for different parts of the country. Most of these commercial wildflower concoctions are surprisingly similar in content. They usually contain plants from all over the world that tend to exhibit "weedy" behavior: that is, they grow rapidly on an open seedbed. Most are annuals and biennials. This assures quick results, so that the customer is immediately gratified. However, a common problem with these types of wildflower mixes is that by the third or fourth year the annuals and biennials have played out, and been overtaken by undesirable grasses and weeds.

84. Botanical Observations For Floyd County, Northwest Georgia, United States Photos of wildflowers taken along a road at Berry College and list of rare plants in the county. http://geocities.com/zvezuk/

BOTANICAL SITE: FLOYD COUNTY, NORTHWEST GEORGIA, UNITED STATES PLANTS : In the late nineteenth century, discovery of new plant species in Floyd County were made by Alvan W. Chapman, in addition to the discovery of a new species of Hawthorn by Chauncey D. Beadle and Charles S. Sargent, These findings made Rome and the surrounding area well-known botanical sites in the scientific world. Presently, the Nature Conservancy protects three botanical sites in the Coosa River Valley: the Black's Bluff Preserve, the Marshall Forest Preserve, and the Coosa Valley Prairies. There exist growing sites of these endangered species: Marshallia mohrii , Coosa Barbara Buttons., Helianthus verticillatus Small , Whorled Sunflower, Scutellaria montana Chapman , Large-Flowered Skullcap, and Viburnum bracteatum Rehder , Limerock Arrow-wood. The Lock and Dam Park at the Coosa River is home of another rare species Neviusia alabamensis Gray, Alabama Snow-Wreath, and Crataegus triflora Chapm., Three-Flower Hawthorn. The valleys of the Oostanaula and the Etowah rivers in Floyd County also contain botanical sites of rare plants. The rare Minute Hawthorn, Crataegus tristis Beadle, grows in the Etowah River Valley, and in the Oostanaula River Valley

Federal legislation adopted in September 1987 requires that 25 cents of every $100 in Federal highway landscaping funds be used to plant wildflowers. With few exceptions wildflowers are now part of any landscaping project on the Federal-aid highway system. Most States already have some sort of native plant growth program involving highways, following the lead of Texas, which began its highway beautification with wildflowers in 1927. A resurgence of interest in the landscaping of the last century, with its emphasis on native plants, also noted by Dr. E. "Pat" Carpenter, professor of plant science at the University of Connecticut. House owners who want to get the most yard beauty from the least work, he says, are turning to "naturalistic landscaping." Reduced maintenance costs also are part of the benefits from wildflowers along roads. Many native plants are highly resistant to drought. Texas reported saving millions of dollars by substituting flowers for roadside weeds.

Movies Events and News of Interest Wildflower Index Swallowtail, blazing star The evening sun in autumn casts an orange glow on nature throughout Florida's big bend area. As cooler air begins to come to the red hills of Florida, butterflies may be seen in abundance. Swallowtails, both black and yellow, feast on the blazing star which proliferates along the highways near the coastal areas. We saw sulphur butterflies, skippers, orange butterflies which we took for gulf fritillaries, and several kinds of bees and moths. Rather than compete, these creatures landed on the same stalks and side by side extracted the nectar. Hungry bees would land across from huge butterflies. A hummingbird moth zoomed into view and was gone. We took many pictures, but couldn't get these creatures to stay still. We noticed that some were missing tail sections from close scrapes with birds, perhaps, and so no wonder they were wary of us. Hope you like our website which is 10 years old, changing with the seasons and events. Please write. Michael E. Abrams, Tallahassee.

93. Common Questions About Wildflowers And Native Plants Common Questions about wildflowers and Native plants. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG6065.html

FO-06065 Revised 1998 To Order Common Questions about Wildflowers and Native Plants Mary H. Meyer Extension Horticulturist, University of Minnesota Peter Olin Director, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum What is the difference between a native plant, wildflower, and an "exotic" (non-native) or introduced plant? A native plant is usually defined as one that was growing naturally in a specific area before white or European settlement. A wildflower, also called a forb, is a native plant that grows without human care. Non-native plants are sometimes called "exotics", whether they were introduced hundreds of years ago by settlers and travelers, or recently purchased from a mail order nursery catalog. People, however, aren’t the only agents in plant relocation; they are spread through the actions of birds, animals, wind, and water. Are native plants easier to grow? It depends on the plant, and the garden site. Many natives, like brown-eyed susan ( Rudbeckia hirta ) and purple coneflower ( Echinacea purpurea ), are easy to grow in a wide range of conditions and are found in many states. Others are specific to a certain area and add a unique regional flavor to the landscape.

Purdue University Consumer Horticulture Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Prairie Wildflowers Interest in prairie wildflowers has increased in recent years due to increasing public interest in environmental isssues and ecology. Before 1870, the prairie region once occupied over one-third of the land area of the United States. At present, only one-half of one percent of those areas remain. Recent legislation has mandated a minimum use of wildflowers by state highway departments on new landscape plantings. Many deep-rooted prairie grasses and showy flowers (called forbs) may meet the criteria of aesthetics, erosion control, and cost effectiveness needed for establishment on tough sites.
